November, 2008

Well just thought I would do a round up of the past week, had migraine headaches for quite some time, so went and got my eyes tested, so extra pair of specs will be winging there way to me on monday, at least I will be able to read again HURRAH. 

On a creative level, the Short Story Writing Course One, came to an end last week, so that means I have 6 weeks off before term two starts, I really enjoyed the course and Gavin Inglis the tutor is fab.

I'm Greg, an old friend of Kerry, sometime scientist come lab manager and semi-retired DJ. Why the nickname here, well apparently I can be a bit sarca(u)stic, but I don't see it myself. I play bass guitar badly and sulk a lot because my wife made me sell my synthesizers and PA when we had to downsized the house we lived in.

Just had the pleasure of being at Waterstones in Edinburgh, where Mark Gatiss was in conversation about his new book and was answering questions.  For those of you who don't know who he is, here is a link to his wiki page
